In September it’s raining women at Pangea, and because of this the forecast couldn’t be brighter. Here’s what’s coming up at this hot downtown supper club:
Singer-songwriter Michele Brourman shares a mix of familiar tunes and some new gems from her forthcoming album “The Price of Love.” Author of many a hit song, including “My Favorite Year,” and of songs for 18 animated features for Universal Studios including “Land Before Time,”Brourman is a presence as a performer, tunesmith and collaborator —on stage and in recordings—with Michael Feinstein, Dame Cleo Laine, Billy Stritch, and most symbiotically, with Amanda McBroom. Saturday, September 15 at 7 pm. Cover is $25.
Raquel Cion brings back “Me and Mr. Jones: My Intimate Relationship with David Bowie” for six encore performances. Written and performed by Cion, directed by Cynthia Cahill, with music director Karl Saint Lucy on piano, this time and dimension-traveling evening is propelled by a lifetime of “soul love” between the Brooklyn-based performer and David Jones. Cion, backed by a four-piece combo, explores deep cuts of Bowie’s diverse catalog as she contemplates her destiny, fathoming mid-life, cancer and beyond. Six shows: Fri/Sat Sept 14 & 15; Fri/Sat Oct 19 & 20; Fri/Sat Nov 16 & 17, all at 9:30 pm. Cover is $20.
